philo426 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share #18 Posted December 31, 2020 Ok the engine cowlings were missing so I had to make them.I wrapped sheet plastic around a 13mm socket and secured them with rubber bands .Then I carefully applied glue to the seam. for the cowling fronts ,I chucked plastic plates in my Dremel and held them against a file at medium speed until they were round and of the correct diameter .Assembled the parts along with the engines and installed them.
